innerHTML and Ajax – Bad Combination
Monday, January 7th, 2008Ajax is comparatively new to the world of programming and software. So far, only few people have cracked the use of this program without the use of toolkits. Only God knows how many people who can actually code without using toolkits but I’m willing to bet that they don’t really reach that much. Saying that only a rocket scientist could figure out how to properly code Ajax is probably an understatement considering its requirements from a developer.
But if you have figured Ajax out, good for you. On my end, I was able to do a little bit of Ajax project from time to time but I still have troubles figuring things out. It’s still a matter of trial and error for me.
In my journey in figuring out Ajax, I came into contact with one of the peculiar situation that will only happen to Ajax. If you have been to the world of programming language, you may already have encountered innerHTML. This little tool is often used by programmers to easy write objects in a DIV. Although the longer way of using DOM is also good, programmers naturally select the easier way… including me.
